Vic cop charged with rape to face court

A Victorian police officer has been charged with rape over an alleged off duty incident.

He will face the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Friday charged with rape, intentionally causing injury and committing an indecent act in presence of a child under the age of 16.

The charges follow an investigation by Taskforce Salus, which was set up to investigate sexual predatory behaviour and serious sexual harassment and discrimination allegations made against current or former Victoria Police employees.
